ther that they have had their
eye on Seymour as the most
available place for this conserv-
atory and have even gone so far
through their local representa-
tive as to make overtures to our
people for its establishment here.
These facts, connected with the
many favorable expressions made
of our town by Mr. Phelps upon
the occasion of his recent
visit here leads us to believe
that Seymour can get the con-
servatory with comparatively
little effort. In fact we have
received frequent assurances to
this effect. Other and more
pretentious towns want it, but
their propositions thus far have
been ignored.
But A'hat is Seymour going to
do about it? Think about it a
moment and see what the estab-
lishment of a first class conserv-
atory here means to the town. A
handsome and commodious build-
ing, a corps of teachers capable
of giving instruction in the high-
er branches of music, a score of
pupils from adjoining towns, to
say nothing of the effective and
lasting advertising it would give
the community abroad. These
are only some of the advantages
to be gained from it. Can we>
afford to let the opportunity to
secure such an institution slip

We Have Never Learned
The Art of Substituting
Our Prescription Business has grown
so rapidly the past year that we be-
lieve everyone will admit that our pre-
scription man is as accurate as a man
can be. We use the best drugs that
money can buy and have plenty of
them. We have not learnen the art
of substituting. You have a right to
know what goes in your prescription
when it is being filled. They are just
what the doctor orders.
